JCT MINOR WORKS OR HOMEOWNER?

[Noah]

ADVISE NEEDED:

 

I'm building two flats - build costs CIRCA £200,000. Do I use the JCT Minor Works or Homeowner contract?

 

Many thanks

Are you the builder, client or developer?    Most contracts need a 3rd party to administer the contract - there is an RIBA one where the client can be the contract administrator.

If you have an architect or surveyor involved, they are the best people to advise.  I certainly wouldn't go near a JCT MW or even the RIBA unless you know what you are doing and/or get proper advice.  Also - if you are getting finance for your build, you need to check with your lender what would be acceptable to them.
